This class represents a top-level window with no
borders or menu bar.  <tt CLASS=literal>Window</tt> is a <tt CLASS=literal>Container</tt>
with <tt CLASS=literal>BorderLayout</tt> as its default layout manager.
<tt CLASS=literal>Window</tt> is rarely used directly; its subclasses
<tt CLASS=literal>Frame</tt> and <tt CLASS=literal>Dialog</tt> are more commonly useful.

<P CLASS=para>
<tt CLASS=literal>show()</tt> (which overrides <tt CLASS=literal>Component.show()</tt>)
makes a <tt CLASS=literal>Window</tt> visible and brings it to the front of
other windows. <tt CLASS=literal>toFront()</tt> brings a window to the
front, and <tt CLASS=literal>toBack()</tt> buries a window beneath others.
<tt CLASS=literal>pack()</tt> is an important method that 
initiates layout management for the window, and sets the window
size to match the preferred size of the components contained
within the window.  <tt CLASS=literal>getToolkit()</tt> returns the
<tt CLASS=literal>Toolkit()</tt> in use for this window.  Call
<tt CLASS=literal>dispose()</tt> when a <tt CLASS=literal>Window</tt> is no longer needed
to free its window system resources.
